What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Thanks to Michelle, Amanda C., Kyle C., Cheyanne, Joel S., Georgia T., Erin T., Monica K., NWM, Monica B., Jana S., & Jon D., who have been counting down the days 'til they could endorse a fine product like the 2011 Cake Wrecks Wall Calendar. [nodding earnestly] It's true. Take my word for it. No need to ask any of them. Or even check to see if they are, in fact, real people.

Best Friends Animal Society operates the nation's largest sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals, from cats and dogs to rabbits and horses. Their mission is to create a world with no more homeless pets. Period.

My father passed away unexpectedly a week ago. Though usually a daily Cake Wrecks checker, this was my first time back since falling into this strange chasm of sadness. Just wanted you to know that the fungi . . . first time I've laughed in a week. And I laughed HARD. Thank you so much for that. ♥

I love you, I've commented occasionally, you often make me laugh.. You know, a little giggle... a smile that won't quit. Well.. I got to #9... and simultaneously choked on a cookie, went into a coughing fit (inhaled said cookie) laughed and coughed back and forth, and ultimately had to run from the room since I was in fact, peeing myself. I should tell you... I'm at work. Now I have to clean chewed cookie off my keyboard.

Late as usual, but I just have to say: CW team, you are the BEST. Funniest version of this song yet. :)

As others noted, #9 does look like Zero..but it made me think of http://www.justhungry.com/2005/03/inarizushi_sush.html" rel="nofollow">inarizushi (made with fried tofu skins) rather than chicken nuggets. Either way, not something I normally associate with kiwi fruit *or* cake. Or Christmas trees for that matter...
